BBC drops pundit over racial abuse

Former England international Trevor Sinclair has been dropped as a BBC pundit after he racially abused a policeman who arrested him for drink-driving.

Sinclair, 44, was ordered on Tuesday to do 150 hours’ community service and given a 20-month drink-driving ban after being found to be twice over the legal limit. A magistrates court in Blackpool heard Sinclair asked the policeman if he was being arrested because he was black and accused the police of racism before urinating in a patrol car. He then called the officer a “White...” followed by an offensive word.
